Try out the “Vignette” photo app. You’ll like the photo quality so much better than the native software/other programs.

I saw some commercials for the Evo last night and I was salivating: wifi sharing, 8MP camera, HDMI out … looks pretty great. I’ve only played with friends’ iPhones, but when compared with my HTC Hero, I’ve never seen any reason to justify the ridiculous pricetag for service (the phone is reasonable enough). Matt and I pay around $70/month for BOTH of our phones, unlimited, and Sprint has just as good of coverage (arguably better) here in the Den area than Verizon even. But I realize I am a bit outside the norm in that I don’t own any Apple products and I’ve never used iTunes … Though I have occasionally thought about buying an iPod since they connect to the TVs at the gym.

[...] There’s no denying that the “ecosystem” of iPhone with iTunes is great. (Proof? I did buy an iPad and I loved it. Still do. What’s different? No AT&T. But I [...]

Not totally sure I follow this. I’m not an SEO pro, but I don’t think the algorithm has ever achieved anything quite like stability. In fact, it seems like Google has constantly shifted that algorithm, drawing it ever more asymptotically closer to a simulation of actual humanness. I mean, isn’t that Google’s drive? To render SEO indistinguishable from ordinary human communication? Immediacy or “real time-ness” is important, of course, but I don’t think either it or the challenges of SEO impose any novel constraints on brands, causes, movements, or individuals, seeking to “matter” to people. Stuff has always mattered to us. People have always given a sh*t about stuff. The task for Social Media pros is the same as it’s always been: Tell a compelling story about why your thing matters, and it will eventually matter.

So, is this in the 98% pile or the 2% pile?

Your post definitely sways me and I might give the iPad a second look. But even with all the great media consumption capabilities you rave about, I don’t see much about production. Maybe uber portable consumption is the first step here, but I’m excited for what (I hope) comes next: when we’re all consuming and generating content from everywhere, all the time.

Interesting to hear from a “real person.” I have my cheap-o netbook that seems to be filling this spot in my computing gadget array, but who knows what the future will hold.

I like you’re take on how you’re banking on it’s potential. That’s what Apple delivers – potential. I wish more companies took risks. It’s a risky device for everyone involved: Apple, consumers, and content providers. But as always, with great risk comes great reward. This thing has that potential. Great post.
